5x-y=y+3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x=y+3+y
Add y to both sides.
5x=2y+3
Combine y and y to get 2y.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{2y+3}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{2y+3}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y+3+y=5x
Add y to both sides.
2y+3=5x
Combine y and y to get 2y.
2y=5x-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{5x-3}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{5x-3}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
